virginia as well by seven points. and in the state of florida, which is packed with conservatives, as joe has pointed out many times, the president now leads mitt romney 49-44%. it would be nearly impossible, of course, for mitt romney to win the 270 electoral votes he needs without florida which carries 29 votes. a cnn poll, meanwhile, shows the president leading mitt romney by eight points in the state of michigan. and in wisconsin, a new marquette poll of likely voters shows a race now a spread of 14 points in the state of wisconsin. katty kay, that's a state that the romney campaign had hoped to be competitive in with the addition of paul ryan to the ticket. but when you look at the totality of the polls we just went through, what do you see? >> well, you know, it's hard to see how it looks good. and the only redeeming feature for the romney campaign must be that we're 47 days away, right? and that they must be hoping that there is still time to turn these things around and to try and get some of these poll number
